(February 1st: the Your Whispering Muse submissions period has closed! Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal!)

Your Whispering Muse Introduction

The first series of Your Whispering Muse will be eight installments, each of them 4-6 pages (roughly 3400 or 5400 words). Your Whispering Muse will cover material that is "slice of life," "off the beaten path," and "you can drop this into your game/riff on it to make an adventure" — things that we don't get to cover in detail in major sourcebooks.

We passed this news onto our backers on Kickstarter several weeks ago, and to keep the public in the loop: Eclipse Phase Second Edition is late, and will be released in 2018.

Response to the playtest has been spirited, and we're still working our way through rules issues and rewrites. An update to the playtest package was made available on November 16th, and more material is forthcoming. All of the book's art is in. We're tweaking and expanding the graphic design. And we're pushing forward with Kickstarter stretch goals and other Eclipse Phase projects.

Eclipse Phase Second Edition Delays

Our schedule for Eclipse Phase Second Edition was aggressive, and it got waylaid by several factors, some unexpected, and some just hit us harder than expected. Our long-term fans know that we've always operated on a slow-and-steady pace leading to high-quality books, and we will continue that in finishing Eclipse Phase Second Edition.

The Eclipse Phase, Second Edition Kickstarter is just about to enter the last 48 hours. We've posted a big backer update talking about the 2017-2018 Eclipse Phase schedule. The Kickstarter is going strong, just over $145,000 right now and over 1,900 backers! We've unlocked multiple stretch goals, adding three books and an ambient musical album to the digital stretch goals pack, making the $40 and $100 backer levels extremely good value!

As a reminder, we're funding a large hardcover book, packed with artwork and Eclipse Phase goodness, with an updated and streamlined rules system. For more about Second Edition, please read our announcement! and then support visit the Kickstarter!
